Organic flax linen looks incredible. It's a beautiful, natural fabric, that gets better and better with age. Crisp, breathable, entirely luxurious.
We use 100% Belgian flax that is woven into a high quality linen, that isn't extensively pre-softened with water-intensive stone-washing or more toxic softeners (like bleach). We do use some sustainable, GOTS certified softening, in line with customer requests, so this does reduce the life of the fabric slightly, but it reduces the number of washes before it is used and means that more people love using it! Note that linen naturally may also have some shedding of fibres. This is normal for Belgian and French flax linen and should reduce after the first few washes. We recommend line drying as a tumble dryer does exacerbate the process and reduce the life of the fabric.
You should also expect there to be natural variations in the weave and colour and variances up to 10% between batches or even within sheet sets. These colour variances will also fade over time and are part of the beautiful appeal. Darker colours may also fade in the sunshine and over time.
